Cop charged with fatally shooting man gets July 9 court mention date
KUCHING: The Magistrate's Court has fixed July 9 for mention of a case involving a Bukit Aman traffic policeman charged with causing the death of a man along Jalan Stephen Yong. Magistrate Ling Hui Chuan allowed the application by police prosecuting officer Insp Nur Shafiqa Nyaie Ilin for the accused, Lance Corporal Genesis Nitchell David Reddy, 30. Genesis was represented by lawyers Russel Lim and Brenden Ting from the National Legal Aid Foundation. Earlier, the court was informed that the prosecution had yet to receive the ballistics report, chemical analysis on gunshot residue and DNA, as well as the full post-mortem report on the deceased. Genesis, 30, from Kampung Semaba, is charged with the murder of Muhammad Zaki Iderus, 34, who was fatally shot while inside a vehicle on April 26. He was charged under Section 302 of the Penal Code, which carries the death penalty or imprisonment for between 30 and 40 years, and not less than 12 strokes of the cane, upon conviction. On May 7, the police officer was charged in court but no plea was recorded as the murder charge falls under the jurisdiction of the High Court. On April 26, Padawan police chief Supt Mohd Irwan Hafiz Md Radzi was reported as saying that two men had arrived at the Batu Kawa police station at around 5.30am to report that their companion had been shot. Following the report, six individuals including the policeman were remanded to assist with the investigation. – Bernama
